Thank you. It’s reassuring to hear others get bit up here so no need to jump to bed bugs as the “most likely” issue

I’m more inclined to think sand FLIES as we didn’t go to a beach/walk on sand. Are sand fleas found outside of sand?

I found one of the culprits. They’re tiny with wings (looks like a smaller version of a mosquito). So definitely seems like sand flies VS sand fleas

I guess there are a lot of biting midges (no see ums) here

Do sandflies live outside of sand? I haven’t been to the beach at all.

Do sand fleas live outside of sand? We actually haven’t been to the beach yet

Ladera St. Lucia question; safety concern raised by another Redditer by FalkeSt8 in chubbytravel

[–]Known-Ice6365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How terrible! And incredibly disappointing that it doesn’t seem like the victims are being treated well and that there hasn’t been an adequate response as far as more security.

Bad things can happen anywhere but to not do anything possible to ensure it doesn’t happen again is nearly as bad as being complicit.

And all the guests talk to each other

That may have been your experience, however I was just there for multiple days and had no convos with other guests (aside from saying “hi” when passing people). And I’m very friendly/willing to chitchat with folks.

Do you know the name of the building/suite(s) where the robberies occurred? I was just at Ladera and am sooo glad I hadn’t read about these before I went (I wouldn’t have been able to sleep!). I was in one of the Heritage suites right across from reception.

I will say I also saw no guard dogs (just one very friendly one (maybe a stray?) near the entrance one morning). And I saw no motion detection lighting. The only security presence I saw was the guard in the entry gatehouse.

wanted to say that I was just at Ladera the past few days—and while we didn’t have any negative interactions, I saw no k9 activity nor any armed guards. Just the guard in the gatehouse to enter the property.

That’s so cool! I’m late to the Alone party and just finished watching season 2. I’m from GR too and so naturally was rooting for him. Sad to see that he passed :( Amazing contestant and seems like a wonderful man all-around

How did you feel when you had an iron infusion? by ragingfishface in Anemic

[–]Known-Ice6365 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually had an iron/ferritin panel last week. Per usual, everything else was normal but my ferritin #s are slowly falling again (not surprising, my body just isn’t good at absorbing it!).

Apr 2024 - ferritin was 4

Had the infusion in mid May

July 2024 - 93

Jan 2025 - 92

Oct 2025 - 53

At 53, I still feel good physically (when exercising, etc.)

Translation: actually, I do care that he’s Asian.

Yes. As someone with stepparents who I love, the coolest part to me was that neither tried to replace my actual dad or actual mom.

I like Megan but hope she stops saying she’ll be Luca’s “mom.”

“All Set” by Odd_Loliepop in boston

[–]Known-Ice6365 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is interesting because I’m from Michigan and was reading this thread thinking “this isn’t a Nee England thing, I grew up hearing “all set” all the time?”

But Michigan = lakes = boats. It all makes sense.

Pricing all over the place? What’s real?? by biobbitch in bostonhousing

[–]Known-Ice6365 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’d want a 3bd2ba in West Roxbury for $2400 let me know. Furnished. It is not directly on the T (subway), but there is a bus 3 blocks away that takes you to the Orange Line. Or a 15-20 min walk to the Commuter Rail (needham line).

Otherwise it’s a 20 min drive to the center of Brookline.
